Thanks but I really am not the coordinating center of the Ada
universe. I follow the Debian and GCC release schedules; I don't make
them. Perhaps what you mean is that it would be nice if AdaCore would
follow the GCC release schedule; this I agree with but, of course, I
have no influence on AdaCore (and rightly so).

There is too much software and too many distributions; coordinating
all releases with all distributions is impossible. That is why GNAT
GPL Edition is distribution-agnostic; you can install it on any
distribution.
